BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
Alright, Ill post what I can remember

Last thurs, i worked back with a little delt.

Decent lifts.

Yesterday, did chest and bis.

Decline bar bench, up to 255x7
Flat DB Bench, up to 90'sx 6
DB Flyes, up to 40sx6

Db curls, up to 50sx8
DB Preacher Curls, up to 50sx6

BB Wrist Curls, up to 135x12


It was a pretty good workout, all in all. The Decline bench did a number on my shoulders, which I can feel today.

DB Mil Press, up to 85sx6
DB Delt Flyes, up to 30sx6
BB Upright Row, up to 115x6
Front Plate Raise, 45x8

My shoulder joints are killing me, so I cut this one short. Im taking tomorrow off to try to heal it abit. We will see how it goes.

On a better note, a guy at the gym wants to run a cycle with me. Wicked good!

Dude!!!, thats some serious weight to me on the Decline. My shoulder would blow out of the socket. I cannot do decline work too much as it shreds my shoulder also!!!

Nice w/o's. How's the shoulders doing? So a guy wants to run a cycle with you?! Are you going to do it?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

My right shoulder is killing me. I lifted last night, was going to back/tris. However, after a few sets on tris, I decided not to do it anymore, the pain was too tough in my shoulder. Not too cool.

So I did:

Pushdowns: up to 170x10
CG bench: 45x6
DB Overhead Ext: 1-armed: up to 45x8
Pushdowns: Superslow (15 second) negatives: 90x4, 90x6

The superslow negs were phenomenal. Ill be including them as much as I can from now on. Its great, I highly recommend it.

But ya, I quiet after doing them, and my shoulder is killing me today.


As for the cycle, who knows what Ill do. He was all about it though.

Rocco:
Hey I thought YOU were leavin. LOL. Couldnt stay away, eh? You love us too much.

The weight loss wasnt intentional. I definitely lost size while sick for 2 weeks. I mean, I couldnt eat for about 5 days, I lived on apple juice and chickenbroth. Itll come back solid. Good to see ya here.

Arch:
Shit happens, shoulders get hurt easy, and I had no control over the flu. Im better now, thats what counts.

Your journal has been lookin solid, youre makin progress. Good to see you here as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Im plannin on getting back on the simple supps like whey and flax soon, maybe after Mondays WO.

Hey if I start slackin and not postin, eatin like shit etc, feel free to kick my ass.

Another workout: Back

21 March 2005

===========================================
Rope pulley rows
(similar to a pulldown to the front, except with more ROM)
70x10
120x10
160x8
180x6
195x6 (full stack, couldnt go higher)

BW Pullups
BWx3

DB Pullovers
45x10
50x8
55x6

Face Pulls
125x10
145x8
165x8

BB Shrugs
145x10
========================================

Cant complain. Weights not the biggest. Doesnt feel like I worked em. Hopefully Ill feel better tomorrow.

I tried, for the first time, Cytogainer PWO. Some 55-odd pro-cals with malto. Tastes good, but is sittin like a rock.

On a lighter note, I weighed in a 243 tonight, which is 3 lbs ligher than Saturday morning.
